Palmer not ruling out Donington bid

MOTORSPORT VISON RACING (MSVR) boss Jonathan Palmer has said his group has not ruled out adding troubled Donington Park circuit to the company's portfolio.

Speaking at the AUTOSPORT International show on Thursday this week, Palmer said he was not yet involved but was keeping a close eye on events, with a view to adding Donington to MSVR's existing venues of Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Oulton Park and Cadwell Park.

Recently, Donington Park fell into administration following the collapse of its bid to host the British F1 Grand Prix. The circuit's owners are now looking to sell the lease to the venue in the hope of getting the historic circuit back on track. (Can't believe you went for that one - Ed).

“I’d love to have Donington as part of the MSV group but I’m really not sure what Kevin Wheatcroft’s plans are for the circuit yet,” said Palmer.

“I’ve not been up there, but we’ll certainly be monitoring the situation and if they were interested in selling or leasing we’d certainly put a case forward, but it’s pretty early days for that yet.”
